Merge Facebook commit ca40b4417fd224a68de6636b58c92f133703fc68 authored by Steaphan Greene from https://github.com/facebook/mysql-5.6 Change the default value for innodb_log_compressed_pages to false Logging these pages is a waste. We don't want this to be enabled. One caution here: If the zlib version used by innodb is changed, but the running version is still the previous version, and the running version crashes, it is possible crash recovery could fail. When crash recovery uses a zlib version at all different than the version used by the crashed instance, it is possible that a redone compression could fail, where the original did not, because the new zlib version compresses the same data to a slightly larger size. Because of the nature of compression, this is even possible when upgrading to a version of zlib which actually peforms overall better compression than the previous version. If this happens, mysql will fail to recover, since a page split can not be safely triggered during crash recovery. So, either the exact zlib version must be controlled between builds, or these rare recovery failures must be accepted. The cost of logging these pages is quite high, so we consider this limitation to be worthwhile. This failure scenario can not happen if there was a clean shutdown. This is only relevant to restarting crashed instances, or starting an instance built via a hot backup too (XtraBackup). |

This directory contains a test suite for the MySQL daemon. To run the currently existing test cases, simply execute ./mysql-test-run in this directory. It will fire up the newly built mysqld and test it. Note that you do not have to have to do "make install", and you could actually have a co-existing MySQL installation. The tests will not conflict with it. To run the test suite in a source directory, you must do make first. All tests must pass. If one or more of them fail on your system, please read the following manual section for instructions on how to report the problem: http://kb.askmonty.org/v/reporting-bugs If you want to use an already running MySQL server for specific tests, use the --extern option to mysql-test-run. Please note that in this mode, the test suite expects you to provide the names of the tests to run. For example, here is the command to run the "alias" and "analyze" tests with an external server: mysql-test-run --extern socket=/tmp/mysql.sock alias analyze To match your setup, you might also need to provide --socket, --user, and other relevant options. With no test cases named on the command line, mysql-test-run falls back to the normal "non-extern" behavior. The reason for this is that some tests cannot run with an external server. You can create your own test cases. To create a test case, create a new file in the t subdirectory using a text editor. The file should have a .test extension. For example: xemacs t/test_case_name.test In the file, put a set of SQL statements that create some tables, load test data, and run some queries to manipulate it. We would appreciate it if you name your test tables t1, t2, t3 ... (to not conflict too much with existing tables). Your test should begin by dropping the tables you are going to create and end by dropping them again. This ensures that you can run the test over and over again. If you are using mysqltest commands (like result file names) in your test case, you should create the result file as follows: mysql-test-run --record test_case_name or mysqltest --record < t/test_case_name.test If you only have a simple test cases consisting of SQL statements and comments, you can create the test case in one of the following ways: mysql-test-run --record test_case_name mysql test < t/test_case_name.test > r/test_case_name.result mysqltest --record --database test --result-file=r/test_case_name.result < t/test_case_name.test When this is done, take a look at r/test_case_name.result - If the result is incorrect, you have found a bug. In this case, you should edit the test result to the correct results so that we can verify that the bug is corrected in future releases. If you want to submit your test case you can send it to maria-developers@lists.launchpad.com or attach it to a bug report on http://mariadb.org/jira/. If the test case is really big or if it contains 'not public' data, then put your .test file and .result file(s) into a tar.gz archive, add a README that explains the problem, ftp the archive to ftp://ftp.askmonty.org/private and submit a report to http://mariadb.org/jira about it.
